Harwick Intelligence is one firm with a London postal address and no branch offices. We do not have a public office in Nottingham. The first conversation is by phone or secure message, and if a meeting is needed we come to you or to a neutral place you choose. What to expect at first contact describes how we make contact.

Working in Nottingham

The centre is compact and tram-served; the suburbs and the county’s market towns are car country, and staffing follows that split. A subject who lives in West Bridgford or Beeston and works in the centre is followed on foot and by tram; one who commutes to Derby or Leicester on the A52 or M1 is followed by vehicle, and the plan says which from the outset.

Two large universities, a significant financial-services and legal base, and the region’s family court on Canal Street shape the instructions we receive here: screening and workplace work for employers, and matrimonial and harassment matters for private clients. Reports are prepared for the County Court and Family Court and for the regional Employment Tribunal.

Fieldwork, staffing and travel

Surveillance in Nottingham and the East Midlands is quoted per operative per day or half-day, with the number of operatives and the reason for it stated in the quote. Fieldwork is staffed from the area wherever possible so that travel is not on your bill. Where it cannot be, travel and any overnight stay are listed as disbursements at cost on the quote before you agree it, and are never added afterwards. How we charge sets out the fee models in full; you are told at scoping how the work will be staffed.

If proceedings follow

Reports are prepared for disclosure whether or not you expect to use them. Where a matter in Nottingham reaches a court or tribunal, the hearing will usually be at one of the following, and a witness statement and attendance are provided at the fees agreed for that stage.

What you receive describes the report structure and how exhibits are captured and kept so that a solicitor can put them before any of these without first arguing about provenance.

Reporting to the police

Threats, stalking and harassment in Nottingham are reported to Nottinghamshire Police on 101, or 999 in an emergency. Our work runs alongside a police report, not instead of one; we establish who is responsible and preserve the evidence in a form the police and the courts can use. Before you contact anyone, the record-keeping guidance on our harassment page explains what to capture and what not to delete.
